Before and after using colored pencils and gel pens to fix a botched, poorly blended alcohol marker coloring page.

I messed up with my alcohol markers on this page and almost tore it out but decided to try and fix it using a different medium. Colored pencils seemed to work quite well and the gel pen “stars” help distract from it. If you have any tips on blending colors with alcohol markers I’m all ears because I screwed it up royally.

Or do I just leave them white?

P.S I know this doesn’t have numbers on it but it was packaged and sold as a paint by number at Michael’s. I guess you’re just supposed to go off the image that comes on the front of the packaging and do your best to match it 😅

I’d give it an 8/10. Very tasty. The bread is made from scratch which is awesome but it could be baked longer. I got turkey, bacon, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, spinach, onion, oil and vinegar & honey mustard. Added salt and pepper and extra cheese at home 😂

I feel crappy because it seems like no one else here has these issues. My paper dries super bumpy like this and my color blending looks terrible no matter what I do. What am I doing wrong? These are alcohol markers. Thank you 🙏🏼

I still have lots to go but I’m liking how the first couple of layers are looking

People have been telling me he’s a girl ever since I joined this subreddit in June of last year when I rescued him despite the DNA tests I have stating he is a male 😅 he is 2 years and three months old at this point, and I have heard from other Ringneck owners that it can take up to 3 years to come in. But anyways… poor guy is molting pretty intensely but he looks so cute with his patchy mustache 🥹😭

Forever my favorite boba flavor 🔥 I added a little unflavored whey protein to make it a bit more of a balanced drink as opposed to a sugar bomb 😅

Used Bob’s Red Mill Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats, Raw Nutrition’s Maple Waffle protein powder & unsweetened almond milk to cook it in my rice cooker. Butter for the top.
It has an oatmeal setting and it turns out perfect every time 👌🏼

I know it looks like I bought it but that’s just because I save cups for re-use from previous boba tea purchases 😅

I made concentrated black tea & mixed my boba with dark brown sugar after it was done to make a syrup. I add a tiny bit of vanilla extract too and use whole milk always. A pinch of xanthan gum in the blender helps it turn out extra smooth.

I can’t handle the cuteness 🥹 Also, is it just me or does he have some bluish feathers on his wings? They used to not be there so I’m thinking they came in recently during this molt. Maybe one of his parents was blue or partially blue 🤷🏻‍♀️

P.S I’m 33 weeks pregnant ignore my swollen edema feet and cankles 😂

I’ve tried so many flavors of milk tea and smoothies with boba pearls and I always come back to Taro 💜😍

Anyone else? I recently ordered all the stuff to make taro boba drinks at home which I’m super excited about.

I rarely get a Frappuccino from Starbucks but yesterday it sounded good 🔥 I got the vanilla bean Frappuccino and added 2 scoops of ube powder. It was so delicious! 🤤 The ube flavor wasn’t overpowering and I could still taste the vanilla.

I miss when they had the pink raspberry syrup because that was my favorite 💔

Side Note to all baristas: Thank you so much for all that you do. I worked at Starbucks for 6 months in 2017 and I will never forget how difficult it was. I have a lot of respect for you all and I know that’s cheesy to say but idgaf. I appreciate you! 💜

This was my first time using pan pastels for the background in a colored pencil drawing and I am obsessed. I will definitely be using them a lot moving forward. I did this following a YouTube tutorial by GiancArt and was originally inspired by a fellow Redditor on here recently who was the first to post their art using this tutorial. (Give me a minute I’m trying to find their username haha 😅)

Paper used: Stonehenge white

Pastels: PanPastel

Solvent: Gamsol

Pencils used: Combination of Caran D’Ache Luminance, Holbein, Prismacolor, Castle Arts Gold & Faber Castell Polychromos
